I think, the story includes very strange and complicated relations between father (Stew)and his daughter(Kitty). Both of them are within a visible conflict. Their behaviour and characteristic features are completely different and hence they can’t find any mutual point between themselves to share their emotions. When Kitty was small, they could find a way like small cute games to communicate but after a few years, kitty became teenager and her interests had changed so their relations became broken down. Besides, when I observed Stew’s father, I recognized the same situation between themselves. I think, Stew’s experiences show that, he is unknowing about family care because hi didn’t see any interest from his father. In addition, Kitty has a rebellious character, so lack of interest of his father, directs her to strange habits. For all that, Stew carries on his routine life unaware of her daughter.

Isn’t his behaviour interesting? As psychologists say we are all victims of victims. Stew was a victim of his father and so was Kitty of Stew, but probably the cycle will stop with Kitty as she has become aware and is trying to change the situation by opening up communication, even if it is in the form of an article.
